Critics Consensus: Sinister 2 has a few ingredients that will be familiar to fans of the original; unfortunately, in this slapdash second installment, none of them are scary anymore.

Reviews

Richard Crouse

Not scary enough to be called a horror film, it isn't funny enough, intentionally anyway, to be a comedy.

Sinister 2 takes imagery and devices that you've seen before, and makes them feel even more worn down and cliché that they were already.

One of the weaker sequels in the Blumhouse arsenal in terms of terror and suspense, Sinister 2 is nevertheless solid filmmaking with high production values, interesting script and character development

The movie does what it says. Sinister 2 is all about the feeling that something evil, menacing, and disturbing will happen; that's what it literally leaves you hoping for.

Not nearly special, or even scary, enough to justify its existence, it neither furthers Bagul's back-story nor does anything new with the character.

Common Sense Says

Creepy, disturbing horror film involves young characters.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Sinister 2 is the sequel to the hit horror movie Sinister, focusing on a character who had a minor role in the first film. Mature horror hounds may be ready for its strong violence -- including grisly deaths (for example, people are nailed to the floor, topped with hot coals and eaten by rats), pools and streams of blood, nightmare sequences, ghosts and jump scares, as well as an abusive father and fighting -- but it's far too intense for younger viewers. Much of the violence involves two young boys, and language is also an issue (characters, including the boys, use words like "f--k," "c--t," "s--t," and "p---y"). There's some kissing and a brief reference to sex, as well as a scene of two adults drinking too much while talking, plus some brief smoking,.
